Pelion stared at Dahlia's transformed form, his eyes narrowing as he took in every detail.
For the first time, he looked genuinely surprised. "…Wow."
He didn't hide it. "How can she transform into a dragon like that?"
He frowned slightly, clearly trying to process what he was seeing. "How did she even do that?"
He rubbed his head for a moment, thinking. "From what I know… Draconia members can't transform into dragons."
He glanced briefly at Darius. "They have dragon blood, sure, but they can't actually take on a full dragon form."
His eyes shifted back to Dahlia. "Only with our cultivation path can they fuse with a demonic dragon and become a humanoid dragon."
He paused again, considering it carefully. "And Draconia members are especially compatible with demonic dragon beasts."
He added, "The moment they fuse, they become stronger and more stable because of their bloodline."
Then he looked at Garion. "…But this isn't fusion."
